October 14, 2012– TURKEY – Turkish civilian planes are no longer allowed to fly over Syria, Damascus has said, amid growing tensions between the two neighboring countries. The ban took effect at midnight (2100GMT) on Saturday. This comes just days after Turkey intercepted a Syrian-bound plane, claiming it carried Russian-made munitions for the Syrian army. Syria has described the claim as a lie, challenging Ankara to put the seized goods on public view. The Syrian foreign ministry said its ban on Turkish flights was in retaliation for a similar move from Ankara. Turkey has not announced such a measure, although it has said it will continue to ground Syrian civilian planes it suspects are carrying military cargo. Tensions have been recently rising between the two countries after a series of cross-border incidents. Last week, there were several days of firing across the border after five Turkish civilians were killed by Syrian shelling. Turkey’s government has backed the Syrian opposition and called for the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad. In Syria itself, there were reports on Saturday that rebels had shot down a Syrian military jet outside Aleppo – the town at the centre of recent fighting. Footage posted online showed the burning wreckage of what appeared to be an aircraft, but the claim has not been independently verified. Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch has accused the government of President Assad of dropping cluster bombs – which are banned by more than 100 countries – into populated areas. The group said there was a number of credible reports that the number of cluster bomb strikes had increased dramatically in recent days. Syria refuses to join the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which bans the use of such weapons. In a separate development, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayip Erdogan told a conference in Istanbul that the UN’s failure to act in Syria gave President Assad the green light to kill tens or hundreds of people every day. Turkey may not be at war with Syria, but it is now increasingly involved in its neighbor’s conflict, the BBC’s James Reynolds in Turkey reports. Mr Erdogan’s comments come as the UN-Arab League envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, had talks in Istanbul with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to hear Ankara’s perspective on the crisis. –BBC

Turkey threatens to move tanks into Syria: One more wrong move from Syria will be one too many. Meeting with the United Nations-Arab League envoy for Syria on Saturday, Turkey’s government announced plans to strike back if its border is crossed again, while Turkish tanks headed toward the Syrian hills. “We will do what’s necessary,” said Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. The fighting between the two countries—which erupted when a Syrian shell killed five in Turkey last week—escalated earlier this week when Turkey intercepted a Syrian-bound plane amid reports that they were carrying Russian-made defense equipment. As Syria’s bloody civil war rages into its 20th month, Turkey’s prime minister attacked the U.N. for its failure to intervene “despite all our efforts.” –Daily Beast

Here we go, as mentioned in a previous post, it is believed that Nato will use Turkey to take down Syria in scenario as to Libya. The Russian response will be interesting and of course so will be the Syrian since they have chemical and biological warheads.
This could explode into a regional conflict………

The clock is ticking… Turkey’s going to move across the border into Syria. In fact, you will see them do the same shortly thereafter in Northern Iraq – they will make good use of the opportunity to create the buffer zones necessary to deal with the PKK. Also, keep a close eye on Israel – something may be afoot… The IAF just grounded all “training” flights for at least 24 hours, which is odd, since their air forces probably have the best safety record in the world… This could be pre-combat maintenance and armament activities for a major offensive…

This is escalating more and more every time something new is posted. I agree, Dennis E, this could explode into a regional conflict, but how long before it’s no longer regional? This could also result in the fulfillment of Isaiah 17, the destruction of Damascus. Stay tuned…

Everyone knows that this will explode into a regional and ultimately into global WW3 conflict and yet, the prophecies MUST AND WILL be fulfilled.
Tribulations start with the destruction of Damascus, it’s written in the Bible. That’s only a few months away!
Billions will die…

Alvin, nobody here, besides the gouvernement, which is totally corrupt, wants this war…the info, when it gets out, could not be further from the truth, than it is…give out the word, that the people don’t want that war…on neither side…they have nothing to gain from this war…
and the mainstream media is trying to make believe that the Turkish citizens are behind their governement, which is totally false.
All this reminds very hard of the cold war era.
The only way of getting out of this economical crisis, while keeping the good old capitalism straight, is by creating a war somewhere, and that is what’s happening right now.
So people, please act as as a whole human race, and not as citizens of that, or that country, and say no to war! (I actually hope for a big natural catastrophy, maybe then they’ll wake up and see what’s real and what is a total manipulation from the big guys)
This is all like a muppet show. Don’t get fooled by them again…
Peace
